Updated White Salmon shoreline plan open for public review

WHITE SALMON – An update on how the Columbia River shoreline will be managed
within the city of White Salmon will replace standards adopted in 1984 under
Klickitat County’s shoreline master plan.

Comments will be accepted until Dec. 2 on the
program now under review by the Washington Department of Ecology.

Before approving the plan, Ecology will take public comments into
consideration and may identify modifications to meet the state’s
Shoreline Management
Act. The city adopted and submitted its shoreline plan to Ecology last
March.

The proposed shoreline program will guide construction and development along
the shoreline within White Salmon jurisdiction and align it with new state rules
and current shoreline conditions.
